HTC Q1 financials out: 70% drop in profit, but first signs of recovery show

Taiwanese HTC, the world’s fifth-largest smartphone maker, posted a 70% drop in profits in the first quarter of 2012, as the company is undergoing tough times, waiting for its One series to arrive on shelves this month.

Here are all the numbers HTC revealed in its unaudited financials:

- Net income after tax stood at some $151 million (NT$4.5 billion), down from around $500 million (NT$14.8).

At the same time, in March, the last month of Q1, HTC revenues started picking up growing by more than a third sequentially, but still down when compared to last year’s numbers. January was the hardest for the company as it only got around $565 million in revenue, nearly half less than in the same month in 2011.

HTC hopes that the One series will start its comeback. Handsets include the 4.7-inch HTC One X and 4.3-inch thin and beautiful HTC One S, as well as the budget One V. Do you think that this will be enough for the company?

the One will help but not a lot especially if samsung galaxy s3 came out and eat their market share again. samsung is just better at marketing and they always come out with phones that people like. and also samsung's mid range smartphone are hurting htc which have fewer phone line-up.

The one series are certainly a breath of fresh air but its a tough climb back up for htc as samsung have capitalised on their fall from grace. If the Samsung GS3 is a stunner this year htc might have it tough

HTC should have a big hit with the One series. Just hope that the specs and hype are good enough to get them at where they need to be. The EVO LTE will be a must have for nearly all of the other EVO owners on Sprint, so that should be a success. The One XL on AT&T might not be so lucky, though I could be wrong. The One S on T-Mobile should be a nice sell if they do the pricing correctly. Strange there hasn't been a word for any One series to be on VZW... They don't get too many phones from HTC, last good one was the Rezound.
